Graduation

Page 612.  Maya Angelou is such a phenomenal writer.  She is never afraid to write what she feels and she truly writes from the heart.  One of my favorite lines in this text was "I began to see my classmates' clothes, their skin tones..." (p. 613).  I really liked this because it showed just how much growing up can corrupt and innocent child.  I'm sure when she was younger she never thought about why everyone was different, or that anyone was really all that different at all.  But now that she is growing up, she is starting to realize how unfair the world really is and believes that she should get the same rights as everyone else.
